Innovative perimetric aspiration system (P.A.S.) directs its extraction power to the edges. This approach reduces energy consumption and noise at the same time. As a result air extraction is considerably more silent and efficient.

Timer and refresh

Always fresh and punctual

Special advantages of new Gorenje hoods include setting the timing for automatic switching off and the refresh function which is activated every hour, refreshing the air for 10 minutes.

Useful tips

• Remember to switch the cooker hood on before starting to cook, as this maximises the hood’s capacity.
• Leave the cooker hood running for another 15 minutes once you have finished cooking to remove the last few traces of cooking odours.
• Remember never to open the kitchen window when using a cooker hood, as this affects air circulation and cancels out the low pressure.
• Choose a cooker hood that is at least as wide as your hob to achieve the best effect.

Which capacity do you need?

What sort of capacity should a new cooker hood have? Capacity depends largely on the size of the kitchen. A good rule of thumb is that the hood should be able to replace the air 10 to 20 times an hour. For instance, if a kitchen measures 4 x 4 m with a ceiling height of 2.5 m, the cooker hood should replace approximately 400- 800 m3 per hour.

There will always be some loss of pressure when installing a hood. That is why it is important to observe the following rules:

• Always observe the hood’s recommended venting diameter (O) specified on the venting tube or pipe.
• Where possible, use smooth pipes to minimise air resistance.
• Try to make the installation as short as possible and with as few bends in the pipes as possible.
• You want gentle curves in the pipe rather than sharp bends, so that the air can pass through unhindered, minimising pressure loss.

The necessary extraction capacity is determined by the volume of the kitchen. The volume of the kitchen space can be calculated as follows: width x height x depth. Calculation of the power of the hood needed: volume of the kitchen x 10.
